The WWE Universe is still reeling from last week’s massive shake-ups that saw Batista quit WWE, Seth Rollins turn on his Shield compatriots and Daniel Bryan’s WWE World Heavyweight Championship reign come under fire once again. The questions continue to multiply as we approach this week’s Raw, live in Minneapolis. Here are five to focus on. (via WWE.com)

Our five-point preview:

1. According to reports, both Adam Rose and JOHN P. CENA suffered injuries at shows over the weekend. Cena hurt his eye and it might require time off, which in Cena speak is “pull out the eye and keep it on ice while I defeat Bray Wyatt tonight.” If we do end up with a WWE without Daniel Bryan or John Cena, look for an All-“Alberto Del Rio Holding The Cross Armbreaker Too Long” Money In The Bank.

2. Will The Shield add a third member tonight? Will they ever? More importantly will it be Corey Graves, and if so, how much jail time would I get for jumping the security barrier and chop-blocking that dude

3. Damien Sandow should show up tonight dressed like Cody Rhodes and become the Ouroboros of guys who need a push.

4. Bray Wyatt announced on Smackdown that he is “reborn,” so I’ll accept one of two scenarios: 1) Bo Dallas suddenly being Bray Wyatt, and Bray Wyatt suddenly being Husky Harris again, or 2) the return of the mask and butcher’s smock from NXT.

5. No Batista this week. What will we joke about? :(

Reply to your favorite comments in tonight’s thread with a +1 and I’ll pick 10 of the best for inclusion in tomorrow’s Best and Worst of Raw column. Enjoy the show, everybody.

Welp, it’s time for a break from Raw. If they’re going to mail this shit in week after week, then I’m going to watch multiple episodes of Orange is the New Black and catch up on some other Netflix stuff.

Triple H was right. After tonight, the shield is no more. By manipulating…HHH gets Cena to tag with the Shield…turning them further from the mercenaries they were into the Usos with Tactical gear. The Shield exists in name only now if at all.

Love The Shield? We’ll break off Rollins. Then the other two will get Cena rub and we’ll make you hate them.
We’ll include Orton in the title match automatically and throw Sheamus in over Barrett.
We’ll de-push Ziggler and soon give Big Show his 1,258th push.
We’ll ruin the Wyatt by letting Cena do it single-handedly.
Did we mention another upcoming Cena title push?
Or maybe Triple H gets one more title run?
Anyway, hope you enjoyed those few weeks of joy. Get ready for months of pain.

Ambrose and Reigns were just on Backstage Pass after RAW. Within 2-minutes they worked in something about “being a man” or “like a man,” and shoving rules up someone’s ass. I closed the app immediately. The past 2 Mondays have been rough

Honestly people, who was gonna team with them? With Danny B. out Cena was the only other relevant babyface who hadn’t wrestled. Roster is hella thin right now. He didn’t make anyone one look like a goober and, it was a good match. I’m not a gigantic Cena fan these days either. I wanted the Wyatt’s to win, but it seems like every time anything Cena related happens the pitchforks are out. Not trying to be mean but, quitcha’ bitchin and, at least try to enjoy something every now and, then.

I’m 22 now. So it feels like Cena should be a relic of my childhood. Everyone else from 02′ to 06’ish is either irrelevant or barely ever wrestles. Cena is the last one who wrestles on a regular basis. Mysterio, Christian, and, Mark Henry are always hurt. Edge is retired. Big Show I guess? I don’t know man. It feels like yesterday Cena was throwing Eric Bischoff in a garbage truck. and, I was in middle school when that happened.

The issue is that they didn’t NEED John Cena. The feud among these three has practically zero to do with him.

Didn’t they just establish him as going after The Authority for “mistreating” Daniel Bryan by taking away a title he can’t defend for two months? What’s next, is he Goldust’s next tag team partner? A Rosebud trying to convince Lemons? Alicia Fox’s therapist?
